[1]} designed an automated method to study the synthesis and target a specified growth rate of single-walled cnt, called ares which is the first to do closed-loop iterative materials experimentation. ares was capable of designing, executing, and analyzing experiments orders of magnitude faster than current research methods. To achieve this, ares used a rf/ga planner that was trained off of an initial database of 84 experiments that was then updated as it performed a series of approximately 600 experiments. ares demonstrated an autonomous research system capable of controlling experimental variables in materials science.
